The programme can be accessed in a number of London prisons including HMP’s Brixton, ISIS, Thameside, Wandsworth and Wormwood Scrubs as well as those around the country releasing into Greater London, and in the Community.
People who are within 3-6 months of their release date, that meet the criteria, are able to join the programme and a dedicated NGB Engagement Manager will work directly with them during their remaining time in prison and beyond. This gives them access to a bespoke package of support with training and up skilling opportunities, employability and work readiness workshops and other soft skills to ensure they are fully prepared on release for the specific job roles an employer has on offer.
Participants skills are matched to the job roles on offer and additional training is available where necessary. The aim is to ensure people are as prepared as possible on release for the specific job roles an employer has available.
Jobs opportunities on the programme are from a wide variety of sectors and includes the built environment, HGV/driving, cleaning, hospitality, sales, admin, engineering and more.
Individuals are fully supported throughout their journey in preparation for, and into, work with help with CV’s and interview practice. We stay with people for as long as is needed, whilst also supporting the employers to ensure the process works for both sides.
No Going Back offers support and advocacy with housing for those that need it in order to be able to accept their job offers.
